    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi everyone

 

I've been lucky as I've been employed without moving an inch for 18 months so the last time I had an ATOS was about 2009/10 (can't remember - so long ago)

 

There is advice having read this thread that may help having read other people's experiences (I've actually written to my MP over this before it became a concern for myself again)

 

1) Take a notepad and a pen - take full notes of everything - include qualifications to examine you

2) Note down in your pad anything not specifically asked by your interviewer about your health issues

3) Get a signed admission of your report on the interview - they're asking you to sign, only seems fair they do the same

 

Now (been here) take your notes back home and see what they did wrong and write yourself a LONG letter as to why they dismissed you out of hand

 

I had to do this back in 2006(ish) but was unaware of the way to do it that resulted in tribunal and me on 40 quid a week

 

I have an ATOS in two weeks

 

If you're about 50 and a longtime abuser of beer you are likely to suffer problems walking and with memory

 

Personally I'm just getting these symptoms - my Doc explained it perfectly to me - you need VitB and Thyomine to stop it getting worse

 

My Doc is a nice guy - I didn't wanna tell him I had symptoms already

 

Right - Appeals (you get bad cash for months)

 

They have a tribunal who will do another interview - a doctor and a lawyer

 

When this occurred to me it took a very rough six months but they repaid every penny I was owed

 

Many tribunal cases (about 66%) are in your favour

 

Should you have to go to a tribunal be yourself but DONT swear or anything like that

 

Keep your calm, explain why the decision was wrong the best you can and DONT panic

 

My own tribunal was run by pensioners - think talking to granny

 

I ended my tribunal with 'Thank you for your patience and understanding, whatever happens I am grateful for your time"

 

Not looking forwards to this time, however :(
